Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the application filed on September 29, 2020, with application number 202080104970.X and entitled "Transport block scaling for physical uplink shared channel repetition". Technical Field

[0002] In general, various aspects of this disclosure relate to wireless communications; more specifically, various aspects of this disclosure relate to techniques and apparatus for transport block scaling for physical uplink shared channel repetition. Background Technology

[0003] Wireless communication systems have been widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunications services such as telephone, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems employ multiple access technologies that enable communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). Examples of such multiple access technologies include Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) systems, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) systems, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) systems, Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) systems, Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE / improved LTE is a collection of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard issued by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0004] A wireless network may include multiple base stations (BSs), each capable of supporting communication for multiple user equipments (UEs). UEs can communicate with the base stations (BSs) via downlinks and uplinks. A downlink (or forward link) refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, and an uplink (or reverse link) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As described further in detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a Node B, gNB, Access Point (AP), Radio Headend, Transmit / Receive Point (TRP), New Radio (NR) BS, 5G Node B, etc.

[0005] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a universal protocol enabling different user equipment to communicate across city, country, region, and even globally. New Radio (NR) (also known as 5G) is a collection of evolutions of the LTE mobile standard released by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). NR is designed to better support mobile broadband internet access by improving spectrum efficiency, reducing costs, enhancing service, fully utilizing new spectrum, using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with Cyclic Prefix (CP) on the downlink (DL) (CP-OFDM), using CP-OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Spectrum OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL) and integrating with other open standards, as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technologies and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements to LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful. Summary of the Invention

[0023] The various aspects of this disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any particular structure or function given throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided only to make this disclosure thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of protection of this disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the disclosure herein, whether implemented independently or in combination with any other aspect of this disclosure. For example, an apparatus or method may be implemented using any number of the aspects set forth herein. Furthermore, the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover such apparatus or methods that may be implemented by using other structures, functions, or structures and functions other than those set forth herein, or structures and functions different from those set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure herein may be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.

[0024] Now, some aspects of a telecommunications system will be given with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques will be described in the following detailed embodiments and depicted in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as "elements"). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or any combination thereof. Whether these elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0025] It should be noted that although this document uses terms commonly associated with 5G or NR radio access technology (RAT) to describe its aspects, the aspects of this disclosure may also be applied to other RATs (e.g., 3G RAT, 4G RAT and / or RATs after 5G (e.g., 6G)).

[0026] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to various aspects of this disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be a 5G (NR) network, an LTE network, etc., or may include elements of a 5G (NR) network, an LTE network, etc. The wireless network 100 may include multiple base stations 110 (shown as BS 110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 110d) and other network entities. A base station (BS) is an entity that communicates with a user equipment (UE), and a BS may also be referred to as an NR BS, Node B, gNB, 5G Node B (NB), access point, Transmit / Receive Point (TRP), etc. Each BS may provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In 3GPP, depending on the context in which the term "cell" is used, the term "cell" may refer to the coverage area of ​​a BS and / or the BS subsystem serving that coverage area.

[0027] A BS can provide communication coverage for macrocells, picocells, femtocells, and / or another type of cell. A macrocell can cover a relatively large geographical area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and allow unrestricted access for UEs with service subscriptions. A picocell can cover a relatively small geographical area and allow unrestricted access for UEs with service subscriptions. A femtocell can cover a relatively small geographical area (e.g., a home) and allow restricted access for UEs associated with that femtocell (e.g., UEs in a closed user group (CSG)). A BS used for macrocells can be called a macro BS. A BS used for picocells can be called a pico BS. A BS used for femtocells can be called a femto BS or a home BS. Figure 1 In the example shown, BS 110a can be a macro BS for macro cell 102a, BS 110b can be a pico BS for pico cell 102b, and BS 110c can be a femto BS for femto cell 102c. A BS can support one or more (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB,” “base station,” “NR BS,” “gNB,” “TRP,” “AP,” “Node B,” “5G NB,” and “cell” are used interchangeably.

[0028] In some respects, the cell need not be stationary, and the geographical area of ​​the cell can be moved depending on the location of the mobile BS. In some respects, BSs can use any suitable transport network to interconnect with each other and / or interconnect to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 via various types of backhaul interfaces (e.g., direct physical connection, virtual network, etc.).

[0029] The wireless network 100 may also include a relay station. A relay station is an entity that can receive data transmissions from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and transmit those data transmissions to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station can also be a UE capable of relaying transmissions from other UEs. Figure 1 In the example shown, relay BS 110d can communicate with macro BS 110a and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. A relay BS can also be called a relay station, relay base station, repeater, etc.

[0030] Wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network comprising different types of Base Stations (BSs) (e.g., macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, repeater BSs, etc.). These different types of BSs can have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different effects on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro BSs can have higher transmit power levels (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while pico BSs, femto BSs, and repeater BSs can have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0031] Network controller 130 can be coupled to a set of Base Stations (BSs) and provide coordination and control for these BSs. Network controller 130 can communicate with these BSs via backhaul. These BSs can also communicate directly with each other, or indirectly via wireless or wired backhaul.

[0032] UEs 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) may be distributed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. A UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, terminal, mobile station, user unit, station, etc. A UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet device, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device or equipment, a biosensor / device, a wearable device (smartwatch, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satellite radio device), an in-vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a GPS device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via wireless or wired media.

[0033] Some UEs can be considered as Machine-Type Communication (MTC) UEs or Evolved or Enhanced Machine-Type Communication (eMTC) UEs. For example, MTC and eMTC UEs include robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, location tags, etc., capable of communicating with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. For example, a wireless node can provide connectivity to or from a network (e.g., a wide area network such as the Internet or cellular networks) via wired or wireless communication links. Some UEs can be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices and / or can be implemented as NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) devices. Some UEs can be considered Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). UE 120 can be included in a housing that houses the components of UE 120 (e.g., processor components, memory components, etc.). In some aspects, the processor components and memory components can be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and memory components (e.g., memory) can be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, electrically coupled, etc.

[0034] Typically, any number of wireless networks can be deployed within a given geographical area. Each wireless network can support a specific Radio Access Platform (RAT) and can operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT can also be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. A frequency can also be referred to as a carrier, frequency channel, etc. Each frequency can support a single RAT within a given geographical area to avoid interference between wireless networks using different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks can be deployed.

[0035] In some aspects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using base station 110 as an intermediary device). For example, UEs 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols, mesh networks, etc.). In this case, UEs 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein that are performed by base station 110.

[0036] Devices in the wireless network 100 can communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which can be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., based on frequency or wavelength. For example, devices in the wireless network 100 can communicate using an operating band with a first frequency range (FR1) (where FR1 can span from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz), and / or can communicate using an operating band with a second frequency range (FR2) (where FR2 can span from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz). The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are generally referred to as mid-band frequencies. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to as the "below 6 GHz" band. Similarly, FR2 is generally referred to as the "millimeter wave" band, although it differs from the Extremely High Frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz–300 GHz) recognized as a "millimeter wave" band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Therefore, unless otherwise explicitly stated, it should be understood that the terms "below 6 GHz," etc. (if used herein), can broadly refer to frequencies below 6 GHz, frequencies within FR1, and / or intermediate frequency band frequencies (e.g., above 7.125 GHz). Similarly, unless otherwise explicitly stated, it should be understood that the terms "millimeter wave," etc. (if used herein), can broadly refer to frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and / or intermediate frequency band frequencies (e.g., below 24.25 GHz). The frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 can be modified, and the techniques described herein can be applied to these modified frequency ranges.

[0037] As indicated above, Figure 1 This is provided as an example. Other examples can be found in the reference. Figure 1 The examples described are different.

[0038] Figure 2This is a schematic diagram illustrating an example 200 of communication between a base station 110 and a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to various aspects of this disclosure. The base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a to 234t, and the UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a to 252r, wherein typically T ≥ 1 and R ≥ 1.

[0039] At base station 110, transmit processor 220 can receive data for one or more UEs from data source 212, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on the channel quality indicator (CQI) received from each UE, process the data for each UE (e.g., coding and modulation) based at least in part on the MCS selected for each UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor 220 can also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource allocation information (SRPI), etc.) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, permission, upper-layer signaling, etc.), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 can also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS), demodulation reference signals (DMRS), etc.) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signal (PSS) and secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). The transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 can perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on ​​these data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols (if applicable), and can provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a to 232t. Each modulator 232 can process its own output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM, etc.) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 can further process (e.g., convert to analog signal, amplify, filter, and up-convert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The T downlink signals from modulators 232a to 232t can be transmitted via T antennas 234a to 234t, respectively.

[0040] At UE 120, antennas 252a to 252r can receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations and can provide the received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a to 254r. Each demodulator 254 can adjust (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) the received signal to obtain an input sample. Each demodulator 254 can further process these input samples (e.g., for OFDM, etc.) to obtain received symbols. MIMO detector 256 can obtain the received symbols from all R demodulators 254a to 254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols (if applicable), and provide the detected symbols. Receive processor 258 can process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to data sink 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" can refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor can determine the Received Reference Signal Power (RSRP), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Received Reference Signal Quality (RSRQ), Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), and so on. In some aspects, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing 284.

[0041] Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller / processor 290, and memory 292. For example, network controller 130 may include one or more devices in the core network. Network controller 130 may communicate with base station 110 via communication unit 294.

[0042] On the uplink, at UE 120, transmit processor 264 can receive data from data source 262 and control information (e.g., for reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, CQI, etc.) from controller / processor 280, and process the data and control information. Transmit processor 264 can also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. Symbols from transmit processor 264 can be pre-encoded (if applicable) by TX MIMO processor 266, further processed by modulators 254a to 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM, CP-OFDM, etc.), and transmitted back to base station 110. In some aspects, UE 120 includes a transceiver. This transceiver can include any combination of antenna 252, modulator and / or demodulator 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, and / or TX MIMO processor 266. The processor (e.g., controller / processor 280) and memory 282 may use a transceiver to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., as referenced). Figure 5-10 (as described).

[0043] At base station 110, uplink signals from UE 120 and other UEs can be received by antenna 234, processed by demodulator 232, detected by MIMO detector 236 (if applicable), and further processed by receiver processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by UE 120. Receiver processor 238 can provide decoded data to data sink 239 and decoded control information to controller / processor 240. Base station 110 may include communication unit 244 and can communicate with network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Base station 110 may include scheduler 246 to schedule downlink and / or uplink communications for UE 120. In some aspects, base station 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 234, modulator and / or demodulator 232, MIMO detector 236, receiver processor 238, transmitter processor 220, and / or TX MIMO processor 230. The processor (e.g., controller / processor 240) and memory 242 may use a transceiver to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., as referenced). Figure 5-10 (as described).

[0044] The controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120 and / or Figure 2 Any other components may perform one or more techniques associated with transport block scaling for Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) repetition, as described in further detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component can perform or direct, for example Figure 9 The process 900 Figure 10 The operation of process 1000 and / or other processes as described herein. Memory 242 and memory 282 may store data and program code for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some aspects, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code, program code, etc.) for wireless communication. For example, when said one or more instructions are executed by one or more processors of base station 110 and / or UE 120 (e.g., directly or after compilation, translation, interpretation, etc.), they may cause one or more processors, UE 120 and / or base station 110 to perform or direct, for example... Figure 9 The process 900 Figure 10The operation of process 1000 and / or other processes described herein. In some aspects, the execution instructions may include run instructions, translation instructions, compilation instructions, interpretation instructions, etc.

[0045] In some aspects, UE 120 may include: a unit for determining a transport block size based at least in part on a set of physical uplink shared channel resources corresponding to a set of physical uplink shared channel repetitions configured to be transmitted on at least one repetition unit, the at least one repetition unit comprising at least one nominal repetition and at least one actual repetition; a unit for transmitting the set of physical uplink shared channel repetitions based at least in part on the transport block size, etc. In some aspects, such a unit may include a combination of Figure 2 One or more components of the UE 120 described herein, such as controller / processor 280, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, etc.

[0046] In some aspects, base station 110 may include: a unit for transmitting a physical uplink shared channel repetition configuration, the physical uplink shared channel repetition configuration including an indication of determining a transport block size based at least in part on a set of physical uplink shared channel repetitions corresponding to a set of physical uplink shared channel repetitions configured to be transmitted on at least one repetition unit, the at least one repetition unit including at least one nominal repetition and at least one actual repetition; and a unit for receiving the set of physical uplink shared channel repetitions based at least in part on the transport block size. In some aspects, such a unit may include a combination of Figure 2 One or more components of the described base station 110, such as antenna 234, DEMOD 232, MIMO detector 236, receiver processor 238, controller / processor 240, transmitter processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, MOD 232, antenna 234, etc.

[0047] Although Figure 2 The boxes in the diagram represent different components, but the functions described above with reference to these boxes can be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combined component, or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described with reference to transmit processor 264, receive processor 258, and / or TX MIMO processor 266 can be performed by controller / processor 280, or performed under the control of controller / processor 280.

[0048] As indicated above, Figure 2 This is provided as an example. Other examples can be found in the reference. Figure 2The examples described are different.

[0049] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating example 300 of a PUSCH repetition according to various aspects of this disclosure. (As follows) Figure 3 As shown, UE 305 and base station 310 can communicate with each other. UE 305 and base station 310 can communicate via a wireless network (e.g., Figure 1 The wireless networks 100 shown communicate with each other.

[0050] As shown in the figure, UE 305 can repeat the transmission of PUSCH communication on multiple time slots. For example, as shown in the figure, UE 305 can send multiple PUSCH repetitions on consecutive time slots. As used herein, "repetition" refers to multiple transmissions of communication, as well as the initial transmission of the communication or any subsequent retransmission of the communication. PUSCH repetition (e.g., which may be referred to as time slot repetition, time slot aggregation, and / or multi-time slot PUSCH) can be used to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to improve transmission reliability.

[0051] Modulation and coding scheme (MCS) and / or resource allocation can be indicated in the scheduling downlink control information (DCI) transmission. MCS and / or resource allocation can be common across consecutive time slots. For each time slot of a multi-slot PUSCH, the transport block can be identical (because the same data is being retransmitted). The encoded bits may differ between PUSCH repetitions.

[0052] For example, the redundancy version (RV) for each time slot may be different. The RV for the first time slot can be indicated in the scheduling DCI, while the RV for the nth time slot can be determined by 'n mod 4'. For example, for the first transmission of a 4-slot PUSCH, the RV order could be {RV0, RV2, RV3, RV1}. The RV order or retransmission of a 4-slot PUSCH could be, for example, {RV3, RV1, RV0, RV2}.

[0053] As indicated above, Figure 3 This is provided as an example. Other examples can be found in the reference. Figure 3 The examples described are different.

[0054] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating example 400 of a PUSCH repetition according to various aspects of this disclosure. (As follows) Figure 4 As shown, UE 405 and base station 410 can communicate with each other. UE 405 and base station 410 can communicate via a wireless network (e.g., Figure 1 The wireless network 100 shown communicates with each other. UE 405 can be or is similar to Figure 3 The UE 305 shown, and the base station 410 may be or are similar to Figure 3 Base station 310 is shown.

[0055] As shown in the figure, UE 405 can use a first type of PUSCH repetition (shown as "Type A") 415 to send PUSCH communication, where each PUSCH repetition occurs in a different time slot than each other PUSCH repetition. UE 405 can use a second type of PUSCH repetition (shown as "Type B") 420 to send PUSCH communication. PUSCH repetition type B can be used to reduce the transmission delay of repeated PUSCH by providing repetitions with consecutive symbols instead of consecutive time slots, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 As shown, consecutive symbols can occur within a single time slot or span adjacent time slots. The nominal repetition number K can be dynamically indicated in the downlink control information (DCI) (e.g., K = 2 in the figure). The time-domain resource allocation for the first nominal repetition can be indicated in the DCI as the starting symbol S and the symbol length L (e.g., S = 10, L = 4). The symbol length refers to the number of symbols in the repetition.

[0056] Transport blocks transmitted in different Transmission Time Intervals (TTIs) (e.g., time slots, micro-time slots, symbol sets, etc.) can be associated with different parameters used to determine the corresponding transport block sizes. These parameters, used to determine the transport block size, can be called transport block size determination parameters and can include, for example, the MCS used for the transport block, the number of resource elements allocated for the transport block, the number of layers to be used for transmitting the transport block, etc. When different transport blocks are transmitted in different TTIs and / or by different base stations 410, these transport blocks can have different transport block sizes if they are associated with different transport block size determination parameters.

[0057] In typical cases, even with PUSCH repetition, the transport block size can be determined using the PUSCH resources of a single time slot. For example, it can be determined based on the relationship... To determine the transport block size, where and These are the bit rate and modulation order indicated by the MCS, and This is the total number of data resource elements in a single time slot for a PUSCH. Determining the transport block size in this way can lead to a very low effective code rate for multi-slot PUSCHs (because the effective code rate...). R eff,multi-slot =R / M ), where M is the number of time slots.

[0058] However, in scenarios with limited uplink coverage, where the transmit power of UE 405 is the bottleneck, further reducing the already low effective code rate R effThis could be detrimental to transmission reliability and could increase resource and / or bandwidth consumption. For example, compared to the effective code rate (R... eff Half of the bandwidth associated with / 2) will reduce the power spectral density (PSD) by 3dB for uplinks with limited transmit power. The SNR will also decrease by 3dB. Although R eff The combined gain of / 2 can typically be 3dB, but the channel estimation loss due to the lower SNR makes the gain less than 3dB.

[0059] As indicated above, Figure 4 This is provided as an example. Other examples can be found in the reference. Figure 4 The examples described are different.

[0060] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating example 500 associated with a repetition of PUSCH according to various aspects of this disclosure. (See example 500.) Figure 5 As shown, UE 505 (e.g., similar to Figure 4 The UE 405 shown) and base station 410 (e.g., similar to) Figure 4 The base station 410 shown can communicate with each other. The UE 505 and the base station 510 can communicate via a wireless network (e.g., Figure 1 The wireless network 100 shown communicates with each other. UE 505 can be or is similar to Figure 1 The UE 120 and base station 510 shown may be or are similar to Figure 1 Base station 110 is shown.

[0061] As shown in Figure 515, UE 505 can send PUSCH repeats according to a Type B PUSCH repeat scheme, and base station 510 can receive these PUSCH repeats. As illustrated, a nominal repeat can be segmented into multiple actual repeats. For example, a nominal repeat can be segmented based on the satisfaction of segmentation conditions. These conditions may be satisfied when a nominal repeat crosses a slot boundary, or when a nominal repeat includes one or more semi-statically configured downlink symbols and / or invalid symbols. In some cases, the redundancy version (RV) of the nth actual repeat can be determined by the modulo (n mod L) of the actual repeat's index relative to the symbol length.

[0062] In some cases, frequency hopping schemes can be configured for PUSCH repetition type B. For example, inter-slot frequency hopping and / or nominal repetition frequency hopping can be configured for PUSCH repetition type B. Frequency hopping schemes with hopping involving multiple time slots (and therefore multiple nominal repetitions) can also be applied to PUSCH repetition type B.

[0063] In some cases, within the context of PUSCH repetition type B, the transport block size can be determined based on the first nominal transfer and the nominal symbol length. (As mentioned above...) Figure 4 As described, PUSCH repetition type B can present the same challenges as PUSCH repetition type A in scenarios with limited uplink coverage. The transport block size in PUSCH repetition type B is determined based on a nominal repetition (maximum 14 symbols long) or the length of a time slot. Therefore, PUSCH repetition type B does not determine an extension of the transport block size, which can negatively impact network performance.

[0064] Based on some aspects of the techniques and apparatus described herein, transport block size determination can be scaled up for PUSCH repetition scenarios. In some aspects, for example, the UE can determine the transport block size at least in part based on a set of PUSCH resources corresponding to a set of PUSCH repetitions configured to be transmitted on at least one repetition unit, which includes at least one nominal repetition and at least one actual repetition. In this way, these aspects facilitate scaling up the transport block size to improve coverage or transmission reliability with higher coding rates and lower bandwidth (associated with higher PSD). Therefore, such aspects have a positive impact on network performance.

[0065] As indicated above, Figure 5 This is provided as an example. Other examples can be found in the reference. Figure 5 The examples described are different.

[0066] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating example 600 associated with transport block scaling for PUSCH repetition according to various aspects of this disclosure. Figure 6 As shown, UE 605 and base station 610 can communicate with each other. UE 605 and base station 610 can communicate via a wireless network (e.g., Figure 1 The wireless network 100 shown communicates with each other. UE 605 can be or is similar to Figure 5 The UE505 and / or shown Figure 1 The UE 120 shown. Base station 610 can be or is similar to Figure 5 The base station 510 and / or shown Figure 1 Base station 110 is shown.

[0067] As shown by reference numeral 615 in the accompanying drawings, base station 610 can transmit a PUSCH repetition configuration, and UE 605 can receive the PUSCH repetition configuration. The PUSCH repetition configuration may include an indication of determining a transport block size based at least in part on a set of PUSCH resources corresponding to a set of PUSCH repetitions configured to be transmitted on at least one repetition unit, the at least one repetition unit comprising at least one nominal repetition and at least one actual repetition.

[0068] As shown by reference numeral 620 in the attached figure, UE 605 can transmit a PUSCH repeat set, and base station 610 can receive the PUSCH repeat set. UE 605 can transmit the PUSCH communication set at least in part based on the PUSCH repeat configuration. In some aspects, UE 605 can use PUSCH repeat scheme 625. UE 605 can determine the transport block size at least in part based on the number of nominal resource elements of at least one initial nominal repeat of at least one nominal repeat. For example, the number of nominal repeats M can be an integer, and M > 1 (e.g., ,in and These are the code rate and modulation order indicated by the modulation and coding scheme (MCS), respectively, and (This refers to the total number of data REs that are nominally repeated in the first instance). The amount of the at least one initial nominal repetition is less than or equal to the amount of the at least one nominal repetition. In some aspects, UE 605 may determine the transport block size based at least in part on the number of actual resource elements corresponding to the at least one initial nominal repetition of the at least one nominal repetition. The amount of the at least one initial nominal repetition may be less than or equal to the amount of the at least one nominal repetition.

[0069] In some aspects, UE 605 may determine the transport block size based at least in part on the number of actual resource elements corresponding to at least one initial actual repeat of at least one actual repeat. UE 605 may transmit the PUSCH repeat set at least in part based on a frequency hopping pattern. The frequency hopping pattern may include nominal inter-repeat frequency hopping. The frequency hopping length X may be equal to the nominal repeat count associated with at least one repeating unit. The frequency hopping pattern may include nominal inter-repeat frequency hopping corresponding to multiple bundled time slot units. The frequency hopping length X is equal to an integer multiple of the nominal repeat count M associated with at least one repeating unit.

[0070] In some aspects, the frequency hopping pattern may include frequency hopping within a nominal repeat. The nominal repeat count M associated with the at least one repeating unit may be an integer multiple of the frequency hopping length X. In some aspects, the frequency hopping pattern may include two frequency positions, and the nominal repeat count M may be twice the frequency hopping length X. The frequency hopping pattern may include more than two frequency positions, and the nominal repeat count is equal to the amount of frequency hopping in the frequency hopping period associated with the frequency hopping pattern. In some aspects, the frequency hopping pattern may include frequency hopping between nominal repeats.

[0071] The first demodulation reference signal mode corresponding to the first repetition is different from the demodulation reference signal mode corresponding to the second repetition. For example, in some aspects, one of the first and second repetitions does not include a demodulation reference signal symbol. In some aspects, the mapping of encoded bits in at least one repetition unit may be continuous. The start bit of the initial actual repetition of at least one repetition unit may be at least partially based on a redundant version, and the start bit of an additional actual repetition of at least one repetition unit may include the next bit immediately following the last bit in the previous actual repetition.

[0072] UE 605 can perform a two-level redundancy version cycle procedure. For example, UE 605 can cycle through the first actual repetition of each of multiple repetition units as the outer level. Multiple repetition units can include repetitions. UE 605 can cycle through multiple time slots within a repetition unit as the inner level.

[0073] In some aspects, base station 610 can transmit and UE 605 can receive resource allocations indicating frequency domain resources smaller than physical resource blocks. This also includes modifying one or more parameters associated with the PUSCH repetition set, at least in part based on the resource allocations, the one or more parameters including at least one of a nominal repetition count associated with transport block size determination, a nominal repetition count, or a nominal repetition quantity bundled in frequency hops.

[0074] As indicated above, Figure 6 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 6 The example described.

[0075] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram illustrating example 700 associated with a repetition of PUSCH according to various aspects of this disclosure. (See also...) Figure 7 As shown, UE 705 and base station 710 can communicate with each other. UE 705 and base station 710 can communicate via a wireless network (e.g., Figure 1 The wireless networks 100 shown can communicate with each other. UE 705 can be or is similar to Figure 6The UE 605 shown Figure 5 The UE 505 and / or shown Figure 1 The UE 120 shown. Base station 610 can be or is similar to Figure 6 Base station 610 shown Figure 5 The base station 510 and / or shown Figure 1 Base station 110 is shown.

[0076] In some respects, UE 705 can multiplex uplink control information (UCI) on one or more PUSCH repeats of a repeat set. The number of resource elements occupied by UCI on a PUSCH is amplified by at least one of multiple nominal repeats or multiple actual repeats.

[0077] In some aspects, as indicated by "Option 1", multiplexing UCI may include multiplexing uplink control information on a first actual repetition of at least one actual repetition that satisfies the multiplexing timeline. Multiplexing UCI may also include multiplexing UCI on one or more additional consecutive actual repetitions of the at least one actual repetition. The amount of the initial actual repetition and one or more additional consecutive actual repetitions may be equal to the amount of the PUSCH repetition set. In some aspects, UE 605 may begin with the first overlapping actual repetition that satisfies the multiplexing timeline. As indicated by Option 2, UE 605 may multiplex the UCI actual repetition corresponding to at least one nominal repetition.

For example, a UE (e.g., using...) Figure 10 The described communication manager 1004 can determine the transport block size at least in part based on a set of PUSCH resources corresponding to a PUSCH repeat set, which is configured to be transmitted by at least one repeating unit including at least one nominal repeat and at least one actual repeat, as described above.
